Men can be Extreme Shoppers too!

I've noticed that there is at least one male fan on the MrsSmith FB fan page, and a couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of having my first male student which was exciting! Since then a hostess' hubby sat in on the class (the entire 2 hours), which speaks a lot for itself, I think!

Although they are far from the norm, some men are the shoppers in the family, as is the case of my brother in law, Chris. He and his family were visiting from out of town recently, and he was very excited to get a quick Extreme Shopping class and get shopping. This is the result of his first trip - not bad for someone who had no coupons and had to cobble together some coupons from my coupon stash in a short amount of time!


So you see, men CAN be Extreme Shoppers too!

Meet the latest Mrs.Smith-Extreme Shopper convert!

My sister in law is in town and came shopping with me today after taking a look at my stockpile. We went to RCSS and she got 14 items for wait for it, 3 cents. Yes, 3 cents!!! And that was including tax!

Her total would have been $76.16 (including tax) if she had purchased everything at full price. Instead, she used a Buy One, Get One (BOGO) coupon for the Scrubbing Bubbles, and used 12 $2 off coupons for the Glade. Because the candles were $1.44, she made .56cents PER candle, which went towards the Scrubbing Bubbles and tax. Her savings ratio is an incredible 99.96%!!!! How can you not be convinced that coupons are the way to go after that shopping trip??

Here's a cute video she did once she came home, her husband was suitably impressed! Aren't you? :)


Sorry about the video, I may be good at couponing but my filming skills need some brushing up! Also, this video was totally unrehearsed, and I was giggling all the way through it because she did such a good job talking about her deal!

Here's a picture of her receipt - 3 cents, can you believe it? Woohoo!

Because we all love to celebrate together when the other gets great deals, won't you leave a "yay" message for Stacey? :)
